The child class (assuming it has overridden a method) would access the
original method in the parent with:
parent::someMethod();
If the child class wishes to access the method it has overridden (i.e.,
it wants to access its own method, not the parent's), it uses:
$this->someMethod();
The object *instance* only gets to access the overridden method (assuming
it's an instance of the child class):
$instance->someMethod();
